Embodiment
Figure 1A represents the specific embodiment according to opertaing device of the present invention.In this example, magnetic control control equipment 1 is installed in the center section 2 of table.Can see from this figure: pipe (reference marker 3) is inserted in the opening 4 that provides in the edge of center section 2.Pipe 3 is for example made by nonmagnetic substance such as stainless steel.Pipe is airtight, and only at the one end opening.Can see in Figure 1A that in the embodiment of the theme of present example, pipe 3 almost entirely is included in the inside of center section.Have only the outside opening of the openend of this pipe to table.Yet, be appreciated that according to other embodiments of the invention, can only near the distal portions of pipe closed end (or blind end) be inserted in the center section.Under these conditions, pipe will stretch out from this center section near the proximal part of this openend, thereby promote button 13.
As can be seen, near the part (proximal part that after this is called pipe, reference marker are 7) its openend of being positioned at of pipe 3, tube wall has bigger thickness.Part 7 forms so that adjust in the opening 4 of center section, so that forms sealing as far as possible closely.On the other hand, and for example shown in Figure 1A, strengthen imperviousness by " O shape ring " type seal (reference marker 5), the sealing part is arranged on same in the ring groove 6 that part 7 provides.Part 7 also provides outer ring shoulder 9, so that the complementary shoulder 10 of adjacent openings 4.Also in Figure 1A, see the groove 14 that the near-end at this pipe provides.This groove is provided for receiving volute spring 15.
According to this embodiment, on the center position of table, pipe 3 edges from middle part 2 radially extend.The existence meeting that therefore it should be understood that this pipe constitutes obstruction in the assembling table some part being introduced watchcase.Especially, under the situation of simulation table, pipe 3 can be to constituting obstacle when movement is introduced shell.For avoiding this type of problem, can be only put in place installing after other need be placed on parts in the watchcase pipe to be laid.In case pipe is inserted into, it can once and for all remain to the position.Therefore, the joint between pipe 3 and the center section 2 is a static engagement.Under these conditions, the packoff of describing can be guaranteed long-term imperviousness.
In this example, the manual control element according to present device is formed by the cylindrical bar in the tubular stinger 3 12.Bar 12 is provided as so that in pipe 3 slides within and rotation.One end of bar 12 goes out from this rostrum via opening 4, and as shown in the figure, this end is terminated at crown button 13.Visible equally, button 13 has annular groove at its lower surface, wherein the cylindrical proximal end of containing pipe 3 and volute spring 15.Can see that button 13 covers this near-end and spring 15 in the mode of cap.The exterior cylindrical surfaces of the near-end of pipe is designed to slide in the annular groove of this button, so that change the nested degree of pipe 3 and button 13.This button and bar 12 are integrated, and this button causes the displacement of bar 12 in this pipe with respect to the axially-movable meeting of managing 3.
Return spring 15 is volute springs, and it is by the end against the annular groove of button 13 bottom, and supports against the other end of the bottom of groove 14.Under these conditions, when wearer's pressing button 13 of wrist-watch, he compresses return spring 15 and makes the near-end of pipe 3 sink to this annular groove.Then, when the wearer of wrist-watch discharged its pressure on button 13, return spring 15 had the trend that makes button 13 and bar 12 turn back to their initial position.
And for example shown in Fig. 1, bar 12 has roughly the section of outline less than the diameter of the remainder of this bar.This section of outline is positioned at the level of the proximal part 7 of this pipe, is formed by two grooves (reference marker 16 and 17) and sloping portion 18 basically.These two grooves 16,17 and sloping portion 18 are provided as so that cooperate with circlip 19, and to form indexing unit, this indexing unit is used to keep this bar or makes it turn back to selected axial location.Pipe 3 has disymmetric mill iron portion (milling) 20, and it is provided as so that allow two branches of circlip 19 to pass through, and this circlip is remained to the position.Corresponding to shown in Figure 1B, bar 12 extends between two branches of this circlip.
Follow the example of the known button of clockwork spring traditionally with button, by pushing or draw button 13, the bar 12 of the magnetic control control equipment 1 in removable example of the wearer of wrist-watch, optionally to occupy three different precalculated positions:
-primary importance (being called rest position or position reset), wherein this circlip is bonded in first groove 16;
-the second place (being called pull-out location or position set), wherein this circlip is bonded in second groove 17;
-the three position (be called and advance position or position " 1 "), wherein this circlip and sloping portion 18 cooperations.
In this temporary position, when the wearer of wrist-watch was released in pressure on the button 13, bar 12 turned back to rest position by the combined effect of sloping portion 18 and return spring 15.
According to the present invention, with integrated first magnet (reference marker 21) of this bar 12 can be in sealing pipe 3 translational displacement.Magnet 21 is provided as so that by the first and second Magnetic Sensor cooperations in tube wall and be placed on this time meter.These Magnetic Sensors can be the reed microcontacts, after this are appointed as abbreviation MR, and have reference marker 22 and 23 respectively.As shown in Figure 1A, these two MR are spaced along sealed tube 3, so that they are positioned at apart from the different distance of the far-end of pipe.Shown in Figure 1A and 2A, in this example, first magnet 21 is inserted in the eyelet that forms in the end of this bar coaxially.Can also see the back up pad 25 of carrying first and second MR22 and 23 among this figure.As further seeing, back up pad 25 can be advantageously formed by the printed circuit board (PCB) 25 of the electronic circuit of table.
Reed microcontact (perhaps MR) is the contact to magnetic-field-sensitive.This MR can be in two states.Closure when in fact, its component on existing in the axis direction of MR is enough strong magnetic field.Under opposite situation, when the component value on the axis direction of this magnetic field at MR did not surpass certain threshold value, this contact was held open.Therefore MR is suitable for use as the Magnetic Sensor with two states, to detect the existing of magnetic field that intensity on assigned direction surpasses certain value.
As the modification of the theme of present example, MR22 and 23 axis orientation are become to be parallel to the axis of sealed tube 3 according to the present invention, therefore be oriented to be parallel with the north and south axle of first magnet 21 equally.Referring now to Fig. 2 B explanation and MR22 and 23 and the parallel orientation advantages associated of magnet 21.This figure is that the magnetic flux intensity in magnetic field of blade interior of indication reed microcontact is as the chart of the function of the lengthwise position that is occupied by this magnet.As observed, in fact this chart comprises two curves.Article one, curve is a solid line, corresponding to the value of the situation that is used for the MR closure (so two blade contacts of MR) calculating.The second curve is a dotted line, corresponding to the situation of MR unlatching.Can verify specially that the intensity of magnetic flux is always bigger when MR is closed.On the other hand, can see, locate this magnetic flux zero point at the horizontal ordinate at this chart center and reach maximal value.This horizontal ordinate zero point is corresponding to this magnet and MR situation side by side.Can observe, in the central area of this chart, the intensity of this magnetic flux is expressed as negative.This feature is corresponding to the following fact, and promptly as magnet and MR side by side the time, the magnetization of MR blade is opposite with the polarised direction of this magnet.
In Fig. 2 B, two horizontal lines are arranged on the top and following equal distance of zero ordinate, these two horizontal lines are represented the threshold of sensitivity of this MR.In this example, as seen, magnetic force is selected enough big simultaneously, so that the intensity of magnetic flux surpass closed threshold value widely at this chart center, and enough little, so that the intensity of this magnetic flux all remains under the threshold value Anywhere at other.In fact visible, when this magnet during with respect to the MR displacement, the intensity amplitude of this magnetic flux promptly reduces.Reach such degree, so that the intensity of this magnetic flux promptly reaches null value in the both sides at horizontal ordinate zero point, and then increase to reach the local maximum of two secondary amplitudes.As further visible, having two, to be positioned at relative short and magnetic flow with maximal value distance be zero position, and this is not owing to weak magnetic field, but owing to the orientation of the field line of the axis normal of MR.With reference to Figure 1A and 3A, explain the advantage of this feature now.In these figure, the rest position (position 0) of the corresponding bar 12 in the position of first magnet 21.In this rest position, can see that first and second MR22 and 23 arrange symmetrically with respect to magnet 21, so this magnet is positioned at the distance of half between the two.In addition, as in Fig. 3 A, observing, MR22 and corresponding two positions, position of 23, wherein field line roughly with the axis normal of MR.Further as seen, the vertical orientation of this field line equals zero the magnetic flux on the axis of MR.Therefore, the structure of this expression is corresponding to the situation of two MR unlatchings.In addition,, be appreciated that these two MR are that the fact of opening is at first considered to explain by how much, and only minimally depends on the intensity in this magnetic field according to aforementioned content.The advantage of this situation is: can make the present invention on a large scale with the manufacturing tolerance of routine, and not need too much concern to come from the possible consequence of change of sensitivity between the sample.
Therefore, the orientation that two MR22 and 23 is arranged in field line roughly with the position of the axis normal of magnet 21.Check that more meticulously the distribution of field line can recognize: the longitudinal pitch between two MR is corresponding to the width in one of loop of being drawn by these field lines.Therefore, in this example, the axis of this magnet of axial line distance of MR is far away more, and then MR is longitudinally-spaced more muchly.Therefore, be appreciated that owing to use pipe 3, this pipe have low thickness wall and thereby can make the axis of MR near this bar, therefore can reduce separately three pre-determined bit sets of magnet 21 significantly, " 0 ", the distance of " 1 ", thereby shorten the stroke of bar 12 significantly.
The position of the magnet 21 that the solid line of Fig. 3 A is represented is corresponding to the rest position (0) of this bar.Yet this magnet is corresponding to pull-out location (1) and advance the magnet positions of position (1) to be represented by two dashed rectangle again.This figure shows that this magnet is located immediately near the MR22 when bar 12 is positioned at the pull-out location.In this position, the enough closed MR22 in this magnetic field.Concerning the 2nd MR23, it is enough far away so that open in this position apart from magnet 21.When bar 12 was positioned at the propelling position, situation antithesis.In the position (1), magnet 21 is located immediately near the 2nd MR23.So the MR23 closure, a MR22 opens simultaneously.Again as shown in Figure 3A, in the pull-out location " 1 ", magnet 21 and MR22 are not fully side by side.In fact, in this magnetic force was fit to the scope of sensitivity of MR, this magnetic field is this MR of closure enough, even when between MR and magnet certain skew being arranged.Therefore, corresponding to shown in Fig. 3 A, perhaps in other words the stroke of bar 12, advances position " 1 " can shorten significantly than the interval between MR22 and 23 with the distance that pull-out location " 1 " separates.
Fig. 3 B illustrates according to the magnet 21 ' of second modification and the structure of MR22 ' and 23 '.Modification as described above is arranged on these two MR the both sides of the rest position reset of this magnet symmetrically.Yet in the modification of Fig. 3 B, these two MR22 ' and 23 ' very approaching are so that in rest position, they all are closed.The position of the magnet 21 ' that the solid line of Fig. 3 B is represented is corresponding to the pull-out location (1) of this bar.In the drawings as seen, the position of MR23 ' is approximately perpendicular to the position of the axis of this MR corresponding to the orientation of field line.Therefore in the pull-out location " 1 ", MR23 ' opens.Concerning MR22 ', it is closed.On the other hand, be appreciated that the balanced configuration because of two MR, in the propelling position " 1 " of magnet 21 ', MR22 ' opens, and MR23 ' is closed.According to second modification, the stroke of bar is longer than aforementioned variant slightly.Yet the modification of Fig. 3 B has the advantage in the 4th precalculated position (reference marker among the figure " 2 ") that can have magnet.In the 4th precalculated position, second pull-out location for example, two MR open.Similarly, Fig. 3 B can imagine the 3rd modification with three precalculated positions once more.In fact, if owing to one or other reason, length that must restriction sealed tube 3 can advantageously not used the position that has reference marker " 1 " among this figure,, and with the travel limits of magnet 21 ' to the spacing between position " 2 " and " 0 ".
Fig. 3 C represents the magnet 21 according to the 4th modification " and MR22 " and 23 " structure.Similar in appearance to the 3rd modification, the 4th modification is asymmetric modification, for example is compatible to the sealed tube 3 that uses little length.The magnet of representing on the solid line in Fig. 3 C 21 " the position corresponding to the rest position reset of this bar.As shown in FIG., MR23 " the position corresponding to the orientation of this field line roughly with the position of the axis normal of MR.Therefore, at rest position reset, MR23 " open.Concerning MR22 ", it is directly located with respect to magnet.Therefore, it is closed.On the other hand, be to be understood that: because symmetry is advancing position " 1 ", situation is opposite.Therefore, at this position, MR23 " closure, and MR22 " open.At last, at magnet 21 " pull-out location " 1 ", field line is perpendicular to MR22 " axis, therefore it open.Concerning the 2nd MR23 ", it is fully away from magnet 21 " so that similarly open.
Should be appreciated that the MR that describes must be undersized in this example.Yet, exist enough little to adapt to the MR of this application.Particularly by ASULAB SA, CH-2074 Marin quotes as proof among the MicroReed-14 of Switzerland company exploitation.
On the other hand, be appreciated that under the situation that does not break away from the scope of the present invention that limits by additional claims, can in embodiment, provide multiple modification apparent to those skilled in the art and/or improvement for the theme of current description.Especially, this rest position and advance length of stroke between the position not need and rest position and pull-out location between equal in length.On the other hand, the present invention is not limited to use the embodiment of reed contact as Magnetic Sensor significantly.Deduction ground, the present invention is fit to use any to the magnetic field intensity sensor sensitive.Especially, can enough Hall effect transducers.
Provide the description of continuation with reference to first modification (Fig. 3 A) of the embodiment of Figure 1A.According to this modification, as can be seen, can drive first magnet 21 optionally to occupy following three predetermined axial locations by this bar 12:
-position (0) (corresponding to the rest position of bar 12), wherein first and second MR22,23 open;
-position (1) (corresponding to the pull-out location of bar 12), wherein a MR22 is closed and the 2nd MR23 opens;
-position (1) (corresponding to the propelling position of bar 12), wherein a MR22 opens and the 2nd MR23 closure.
If refer again to Figure 1A, can see: represented opertaing device comprises second magnet (reference marker 26) with respect to third and fourth MR (submeter has reference marker 27 and 28) location.Equally as shown in Figure 4, magnet 26 is inserted in the interconnection that in bar 12, forms.In this example, MR27 and 28 is installed on the support member 29,30 that itself is fixed on the back up pad 25, back up pad 25 has been carried two the one MR22 and 23.On the other hand, MR27 and 28 makes the axis orientation of its axis normal in bar 12, and the axis projection symmetria bilateralis ground of the bar 12 of next-door neighbour's sealed tube 3 on plate 25 is arranged.
And for example shown in Figure 4, two MR27 and 28 rotations with respect to bar 12 form approximate 135 ° angle together.A complete circulation of being finished by one of MR is corresponding to 180 °, 135 ° of correspondences, 3/4ths circulations that are offset between MR27 and MR28.The skew of this angle is shown by the phase shift of pi/2 between the circulation of two MR (or-pi/2).The symbol of this phase shift, perhaps in other words MR opens the sense of rotation that has provided bar 12 with closed order.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that according to the modification of simplifying the rotation of the enough test rods 12 of single reed contact (MR27 or MR28).In fact, as can be seen, the MR of two angular deflections of use can detect the sense of rotation of this bar.Yet in the application of a direction that does not need to distinguish rotation and another direction, the switching that the electronic circuit of wrist-watch obtains single MR is enough.
If refer again to Figure 1A, can notice once more that in the figure, MR27 and 28 does not place in the face of magnet 26 definitely.In fact, in this example, MR27 and 28 be provided as in case not only at bar 12 when the rest position shown in Figure 1A (position 0), and equally when bar 12 is pulled out (position 1) and magnet 26 cooperations.This is the reason of the skew that provides slight between the MR and second magnet.In fact, the contact is placed on the position of this magnet in the pull-out location of this bar and in rest position half between the position of this magnet.
The table that is equipped with the magnetic control control equipment in this example comprises the electronic installation (not shown) of base when comprising in the mode of routine and especially by the display device of these electronic installations controls.Four Magnetic Sensors (MR22,23,27 and 28) are connected to electronic installation in mode well known to those skilled in the art.Electronic installation is provided as the state that detects each Magnetic Sensor, and is four binary signals with this information processing.Usually, binary representation "Yes" and "No" are preferable over expression " unlatching " and " closure ", to point out the state according to Magnetic Sensor of the present invention in the accompanying drawings.
